Judge blocks Trump's latest birthright citizenship executive order

Judge blocks Trump's latest birthright citizenship executive order

A federal judge has prevented Donald Trump's administration from implementing a new executive order aimed at birthright citizenship. Maryland District Judge Deborah Boardman stated that Trump's most recent actions are "almost certainly unconstitutional" when considered against a Supreme Court decision from June. The ruling confirmed that children born in the US to parents who are "unlawfully or temporarily present" automatically acquire citizenship at birth.
